Poke Bros Guide to Proteins

If you’ve tried one of our poke bowls, you know that the bowl starts off with your choice of rice, lettuce, or chips as a base. Next you chose from a variety of vegetables or premium ingredients. Protein is the next, and arguably the most important, step in the bowl building process. We have several protein choices to choose from including: salmon, shrimp, chicken, spicy tuna, octopus, ahi tuna, marinated tuna, and spicy salmon. While being the delicious center piece of any meal, protein is known as a building block of the body due to its necessity in the diet.
